Who We Are
Zamkanda Initiatives Limited was born out of our participation in the Gigatonne Challenge (https://gigatonne.co/), an ambitious global effort to reduce carbon emissions. The challenge had various levels, each with targets for equity and the collection of food waste, directly contributing to CO2 abatement. Upon reaching Level 3, we had successfully collected over 100,000 kg of food waste. Inspired by this achievement, we formalized our efforts by registering as a company limited by guarantee on 18 February 2023.
Today, we are fully operational, passionately committed to creating a cleaner, greener, and healthier environment in Lusaka. Our focus is on engaging unemployed youths in sustainable waste management practices within communities.
Who We Are
Our Mission
At Zamkanda Initiatives Limited, our mission is to address the twin challenges of waste management and unemployment. We are dedicated to recycling biodegradable waste by turning it into high-quality organic compost, reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and cutting down CO2 emissions. Our approach not only contributes to environmental sustainability but also creates job opportunities for unemployed youths and marginalized individuals in the community. We believe that sustainable waste management can be a driver for economic growth, environmental health, and social equity, and we are committed to making this vision a reality through education, community engagement, and innovative recycling solutions.
Our Vision
Our vision is to foster a cleaner, greener, and healthier Lusaka, where communities actively participate in sustainable waste management practices. We envision a city where waste is seen not as a burden but as a resource, driving environmental restoration and economic empowerment. By focusing on the unemployed youth, we aim to empower them with skills and opportunities to lead the charge in environmental preservation. Through these efforts, we seek to create a lasting impact, transforming Lusaka into a model city of sustainable living, where waste is reduced, resources are reused, and the environment thrives for future generations.
